Geopolitical realignment, digital transformation, and the demand for secure and sustainable energy sources are reshaping the systems that power economies. Predictable energy development and supply, investable transition technologies, critical minerals, and infrastructure that can withstand climate, social, and regulatory pressure now sit at the center of national strategy and corporate growth.
Ashurst Perkins Coie provides end-to-end legal solutions to such challenges, both locally and globally. We lead on regulatory planning and permitting, complex transactions and investments, project development and finance, operational strategy, and high-stakes disputes. We work across energy, infrastructure, and resources, connecting sector knowledge with the firm’s capabilities in regulatory policy, construction, environmental, corporate, litigation, securities, tax, real estate, intellectual property, labor and employment, and insurance recovery.
Our clients include sponsors, utilities, producers, developers, public sector bodies, contractors, equity investors, debt financiers, and large energy users. We help move critical projects from concept to operation: structure procurement and public-private interfaces, secure approvals, negotiate commercial frameworks, manage delivery risk, and resolve disputes. The result is advice that is commercial, globally informed, and focused on building secure energy systems, resilient infrastructure, and sustainable growth.
Secure energy systems
We advise across the energy value chain: production, generation, transport, storage, and consumption. Our work spans renewable and conventional generation and production, traditional energy product logistics, power markets, transmission, storage, alternative fuels, and the commercial frameworks that make new technologies investable at scale.
Resilient infrastructure
We support our clients leading the evolution to integrated digital ecosystems that optimize mobility, sustainability, and resilience. We help public and private clients deliver transport, energy, health, social, and digital infrastructure. From structuring and procurement through financial close, operations, and reform, we optimize the public-private regulatory interface and apply international lessons to local delivery challenges.
Resources for the future
We advise across the mining and resource recovery life cycles for the materials that underpin modern economies, from steel, copper, and alloys to battery metals and critical minerals. We connect our resources with energy, infrastructure, finance, environmental, and disputes capabilities.
